We Are Hiring!
Come join our group! We are looking to fill multiple undergraduate, masters, PhD and Postdoctoral positions to perform research at the cutting edge of glaciological science and sea level projection.
We are a collaborative and creative community seeking to increase our understanding of how the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will respond to our warming planet. We will support any new members in contributing to this important field.
If you are interested in graduate school in the Department of Geology at UB, checkout the admission process at WEB LINK . For undergraduate opportunities or Postdoctoral Fellowships, please contact us.
